12 Features of the Eastwood App for iPhone and Android

Whether you’re at a bus stop waiting for your next ride or in the garage working on your next project, cell phones have become a greatly needed accessory for our lives. It seems more and more you can’t go anywhere without seeing someone on their cell phone or being on one yourself. The upside to it is companies are now starting to create apps to better fit your personal experience with your phone. Eastwood now offers an app that allows you to check out the latest Eastwood events, look at photo galleries, and get coupons on Eastwood products. We decided to download the app and break down the 12 features that it offers.

Events

As of November 19, 2013, the events page shows you three different events, their dates, and times. For instance, “Black Friday Deals” is listed as happening on November 29, 2013 and goes from 12:00am-12:00pm. If you hit that specific event you get the option of what the event is about, comments on the event, who is attending, and a gallery showcasing photos from it. Of course right now the only section that is filled out is “about,” but we expect to see more once the event occurs. Pretty neat feature if you’re interested in getting involved.

An Eastwood rep will be happy to help you out once they can answer your ticket.
